Yep!! If you faced the JC Penney store, the Kopy Kat store was directly to the right and the shoe store (Schiff/Gallenkamp) was to the left. Then there was the L Frank store. If I told you some of the things that went on in that shoe store...............

I wasn't even a thought in my parents' minds yet in the 60's.

The bowling alley in Marlow Heights holds very special memories for me and that's all I'll say about that.
Bowled every Saturday at Marlow in the winter I guess it was, for the Silver Hill Boys Club for proably 8-9 years.

I think my wife's older cousin worked there too in some sort of management capacity, and was there for a long time. I believe the last name was Warder.

does the last name Zois sound familiar?
Since you grew up in the Capitol Heights area, and I believe that you're just a tad bit older than me, I was wondering if the last name of "Zois" sounded familiar to you? Like Rocco Zois, or Annette Zois?

My brother and I used to go there when we were little kids too, but we also went to the Anacostia, the Naylor, and the one (can't remember the name) there on Pennsylvania Ave just up from Minnesota Ave. We didn't use peas.... we used SPITBALLS........
Highland Theater (Penn. Ave) then there was the Congress and the Atlantic, all Wineland Theaters I believe.

Right!!! Now, if you remember the Altantic theater, do you remember that club that was next to it in the early 70's? The name was "Some Place Else"? Oh..... the stories I could tell you about "that" place.
By the way, I went to school with Gail Wineland.. even rode the school bus with her. Her father Fred was one of the brothers that owned the theaters and they lived about 3/4 of a mile from where we lived back then.

Coming back to me in a real fog, i think i remember being there, in the early 70's was this off of S. Capital St. about 2 miles from the Md. line.

Atlantic Street was on the left off South Capitol Street and Some Place Else was located directly to the right of the Atlantic theater. If I remember, there was a Drug Fair store right there on the corner.

What happened to growing up in Southern Maryland
I see all these posts for Prince George's County and that isn't considered Southern Maryland! :shrug:I was young in the 60's. Born in 1960 but I rememer a lot of great places in Southern Maryland
Now does anyone remember Penny's or Dukes Bar or the Wharf? Used to have great dances at all these places. Used to have some good fights also. Jackie always had the gun ready in case it got out of hand. How about Charlie's Villa in Callaway or Oakwood Lodge in Piney Point?
Now those are places in Southern Maryland. Can't get much more southern than St. Mary's County

I pretty much remember all the stores, clubs, resturaunts, etc. everyone is mentioning. When I was a baby we lived on Southern Ave. I grew up on Dunlap St. and 23rd Parkway. Then had my own place off Silver Hill Road and St Barnabas Rd. When my parents moved from 23rd Parkway they lived on Brinkley Road. I had lots of friends that lived on Oxon Run Drive. I could go on and on.
Then you must know Racheal Long, Kenny McMicheal, how bout Rusty Metcalf or Connie or Billy Metcalf....?

Yep remember Dukes bar started working in St Mary's count in 1980 and worked there for 10 yrs at PAX NATC. A buddy of mines last name was Frazier and his mothers maiden name was Duke, i'm not sure but he always said his Uncle owned the place. Went there many time back in the days. Never had any trouble there but was not there too late on weekdays or weekends. Stopped by there many times on weekdays, late afternoon to early evening....
Do you remember the Watsons, Campbells, Vitos, Coshs or the Furrs? We were up the hill on Afton.
